Heretics

I listen to a lot of podcasts on my commute. The Heretics episode of This American Life hit close to home this week. I've been grappling with my faith now for a while, and there's so much other stuff going on in my life right now that I keep pushing it into the background. But, this episode, about a Pentecostal minister who no longer believes in Hell and how his personal religious transformation affected those around him and his congregation, has been keeping me thinking.

I am a heretic now. I've been one in a lot of little ways for a while, but certainly not publicly, and not in any serious way. But now? I'm sure I've crossed the line, and I'm not sure what that means exactly. Unfortunately, right now, I don't have time to figure it all out. But you should go listen to the show. It's a good one.
